They were most realistic portrayals, along with Don Beech and Boyden, I knew coppers like these 4 in naughty 90's. Dashwood is another that has real feel.

😃👍👍...Thanks so much Jana for uploading this! This is a very important episode as is Jack Meadows' first major appearance (after a number of minor appearances and as Supt. NOT DCI) on The Bill before becoming a regular a year later in 1992 as a DCI. It's a great storyline in this episode. I've been wanting to see this for over 10 yrs and finally did so yesterday...many thanks! 😃🌟🌟🍾

@@paulsimpson6899yes he had appeared before this, it the episode with the new station and the investigation into the the murder of two children. He was demoted to DCI in the Fall out of this episode and then replaced Reid. I think demotion is mentioned in passing after this before he re appears.

@@colin5944 Colin, yes you are correct 👍. I recently read that Meadows had upto 13 appearances before this one (perhaps inclusive) and in series 7, he appears well before this. I think the very first brief appearance is the episode where Mike Dashwood is held hostage (which if I remember right, is the one you're talking about.) He was miles better than Reid.

To anyone wondering, this is why Meadows let Deakin the rap for the Beech fiasco. One corrupt DS led to his first demotion to DCI, he was hardly going to let it happen again.

I always like DCI/Supt Medow's the thing that was his downfall / mistake here was he couldnt accept what was staring him in the face till the end when he finally listened to the tape recording least he got onto MS15 straight Away didn't try to cover it over was man enough to accept the concequences .

@@alexjewell2351 - Considering that there were instances of corruption under Meadows direct command on two separate occasions (with the second one being even worse since it involved murder), that should have precluded Meadows from EVER being promoted. The fact that he was NOT demoted down to D.I is honestly a miracle. He made sure to let Deakin carrying the can on that along with other officers who were moved out of Sun Hill following the whole Beech saga.
